I was on a demon souls message board and brought up the pre-order numbers, when I stated that my numbers were from vgchartz everyone had a hissy fit. Has this happened to anyone else?

Same here. The editor of the biggest gaming site in Sweden jumped me for citing VGC data.

They seem overly defensive and full of shit

"OT: I'm surprised so many more copies of CoD:MW2 is "selling" on the 360 compared to the PS3. It can't be any better on one system then the other nowadays. And don't you still have to pay $$ for Live? Doesn't make sense."

Does he not realise 360 has nearly double the userbase of the PS3 ...

Meh, I'm guessing the person that originally said something is either from gaf and got his VGChartz hate there or doesn't like that VGC says Sony is in last. Either way, they probably aren't worth worring about.

Meh. It's the usual NeoGAF sour grapes. You get used to it.

Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

Be the ultimate ninja! Play Billy Vs. SNAKEMAN today! Poisson Village welcomes new players.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.

And, O.P., what were you doing anywhere on the internet BESIDES VGChartz? That's like telling your wife that a hooker beat you up when you told her you were married!

It serves you right.
